Email delivery used to be simple.
Set up SMTP, send emails, done.
That’s no longer true.
We recently investigated a case where a client’s system was sending thousands of transactional emails daily – and some of them were silently failing. No clear errors, no obvious pattern. Just users saying: “I didn’t receive the email.”
What we found is a good example of how modern email delivery actually works today.

Sometimes the best proof of long-term software quality is when a client comes back after many years.
Recently we started working again with a long-term client in the structural inspection industry, for whom we originally built a custom online platform more than twenty years ago.
That original system, developed using Visual FoxPro, supported the company’s internal order management, scheduling, and inspection workflows for many years.
Like many businesses, the client eventually decided to move to a modern third-party platform in an attempt to simplify their operations.
However, after using the new system for some time, they realized something important.
Some of the most critical workflows from their original platform were missing.

We’ve embarked on yet another project recently, one that poses our biggest challenge to date.
We have a long-standing client for whom we developed a web-based portfolio management system over 20 years ago. Since then, we’ve continuously improved and expanded its functionality by incorporating new modules, ETL processes to import data from external sources, and various types of reports and exports.
We recently took on a new and exciting challenge from a startup client that expanded our portfolio into the realms of Laravel (a PHP framework), MySQL, and the Guesty Open API.
